Today’s project is simple, but versatile. I used two of the sentiment stamps in the set to create some unique patterned paper. Since they are acrylic stamps, it is very easy to line everything up PERFECTLY! I used the word window punch from Stampin’ Up! to create a slot for my extra wide ribbon to feed through and hold the card shut. For the inside I adhered a special good luck charm on foam dots. I got several of these charms from my sister when she worked at an itty bitty gift shop in Rockland, Maine. They had an old fashioned machine that you inserted a quarter, turned the crank and watched your quarter become
pressed into a four leaf clover. They were so adorable, I made sure she got me a few to keep on hand for card making! So always keep your eyes out! You never know where you’ll find your next favorite card embellishment!

How clever. I love how you used the word window punch to close the card. I also like the “altered” quarter. I would have never thought to use something like that for cards but am starting to get a new perspective on looking “outside the box” with cardmaking. Ida

Very simple and very classy. The soft green is nice and the quarter thing is a great idea. I have a couple pennies from machines like that at the fair (years ago) and now I know why I saved them all this time. Thanks for the inspiration!
